2001 Wilson National High School
Racquetball Championships
March 1-4, 2001
St. Louis, Mo

Once again Alaska was very well represented at the US National High Schools, Ryan Kofoid of Dimond High went 5 tough rounds in the Boys Gold Singles to equal the best performance by an Alaskan player in Singles (Round of 16). Ryan teamed up with his longtime partner Ross Amundson to claim the Bronze Medal in Boys Doubles. Cliff Caldwell, Justin Nordine, and first-timer Brittany Peck all played some very tough racquetball matches also. You can view all the round by round scores below. To all our Seniors I would like to say, Good Luck with all your future plans and I hope to see you at the Intercollegiate Racquetball Championships next year.
